I dont have much info on this but thought it would be good to mention it. Apparently this link is infecting the msn messenger and hotmail services and once the virus is installed it sends the link to pepole on your contact list. Once the link is clicked on this box is displayed  The link looks like this  Has anybody seen or heard anything about this. Thanks P.S I hope i have posted this in the correct section. -------------------- Dan - If its not broken dont fix it

Both Sunbelt's Counterspy and F-Secure Online Scanner Next Generation Beta should detect it.
Keyloggers and backdoor Trojans can be dangerours. When infected by either of them you should disconnect the computer from the Internet until your system is cleaned. If your computer was used for online banking or has credit card information on it, all passwords should be changed immediately. You should consider them to be compromised. I suggest you change them by using a different computer and not the infected one. Banking and credit card institutions should be notified of the possible security breech. Because your computer was compromised please read How to report ID theft, fraud, drive-by installs, hijacking and malware. -------------------- "THE BAD GUYS DON'T NEED A SEARCH WARRANT.
